The Breath You Just Took Was Made by an Invisible Ocean Alga
By Carlos J. Pérez Pulido · ISHEA Institute ·
Why is atmospheric oxygen fixed at 20.95%? The piece traces that figure back to marine phytoplankton and links it to the mitochondrial energy that sustains bioenergetic coherence.

> 20.95% — that’s the precise concentration of oxygen in Earth’s atmosphere.
> Why?
Because
more = explosive fires.
Less = cellular suffocation.
This balance isn’t luck.
It’s "coherence":
→ Diatoms: in the ocean produce ~25% of Earth’s O₂.
→ Saharan dust: delivers the iron they need to thrive.
→ Glacial melt: supplies the silica for their glass shells.
"→ That O₂ reaches your lungs... then your mitochondria convert it into thought, movement, life."
Without it? Just 2 ATP. No brain. No movement. No complex life.
"Your next breath depends on a microscopic alga you’ve never seen".

The “Backyard” and the New Global Order: What Does It Mean for the Business Plan in LatAm?
An analysis of how the so-called Donroe Doctrine has turned the “backyard” metaphor into explicit policy, and what that shift means for any business plan built for Latin America.

Why do the most efficient workers slow down midway through the workday?
For operations directors and logistics managers: a bioenergetic reading of why top performers lose productivity midway through the workday, a pattern many see and few explain.

Threat or opportunity? Artificial intelligence and our creative capacity
Responding to Pope Leo XIV’s call to “disarm AI”, this piece argues that the risk lies not in the technology but in the human system using it: well designed, AI can free up creative capacity.
